Chapter 327: Xiangyang Alliance
Han Xuan was under Liu Du's surveillance every day, and he didn't dare to make any moves, he could only quietly wait for the opportunity to escape back to Jiangdong. In addition to eating, drinking, and having fun every day, I listened to the news from the servants in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
This Liu Du can also play, he recruited skilled craftsmen very early in the people, and made some modern things out. He also improved papermaking so that the price of paper was no longer so expensive, and the government of Lingling counties had long used paper to write official documents.
What's more interesting is that Liu Du also got out of the modern newspaper and made the first newspaper in the late Eastern Han Dynasty "Lingling Daily", Han Xuan drank tea made from Shudi tea and read the newspaper every day.
"Hey, it seems that this Cao Cao will soon pacify the north, and I don't know what happened to Chen Wu and my eldest brother." Han Xuan muttered to himself.
"Sir, it's time to eat!" The servant came in and bowed.
"Okay, what's going on today?"
"Braised pork, Moling roast duck, squirrel mandarin fish......"
"By the way, did you find the spicy spice I asked you to find?"
"I haven't found it, only some Sichuan peppers."
Sichuan pepper, isn't that still Sichuan pepper? Han Xuan sighed and said, he was tired of eating peppercorns, he just wanted to eat a mouthful of peppers.
Han Xuan remembered that the chili peppers seemed to be native to Central America, which was a new continent that had not yet been explored, but it was difficult to get there with their current navigation technology.
"By the way, I heard that the Shu people use dogwood as an adjunct to cook, and I don't know if its spicy taste is in line with Mr.'s mouth." The servant said.
"Dogwood? Okay, get some for me. Han Xuan was overjoyed that he was finally able to eat a bite of spicy.
A few days later, the servant actually got some dogwood, and Han Xuan used them to make a few modern dishes.
Han Xuan picked up a few mouthfuls of food with chopsticks and tasted it, this feeling was spicy, and it was better than the spicy taste of ginger, but he was still not used to eating it.
Who knew that Liu Du suddenly entered the door at this time, and he said to Han Xuan with a smile: "Han Xuan, why are you so spicy as an ancient?" ”
Han Xuan panicked, he didn't expect Liu Du to suddenly appear, steady and steady! Han Xuan replied: "The general doesn't know, I am from Hanoi, and the people of Hanoi like spicy tastes. ”
Liu Du sat down in front of Han Xuan's dining table and said to him with a smile: "Zhang Wenyuan, don't pretend." I already knew it was you! ”
"Alas, it's hard to prevent! It's still exposed, there's no way, I can't control my mouth! Han Xuan couldn't help but slap himself twice.
Liu Du said: "What, don't you invite me to try your craft?" ”
"You're at your own convenience." Liu Du ordered someone to bring a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and chatted with Han Xuan while eating.
Han Xuan simply said: "Since you have seen through it, I am now in your hands, and I can only be disposed of by you." ”
Liu Du smiled and said, "It seems that you are preparing to break the jar." I want you to surrender to me and serve me, will you? ”
"Huh. Although you and I are both modern people, we have long been integrated into this world. Even if you can find a way back, are you willing to go back? Han Xuan asked rhetorically.
Liu Du acquiesced, drank a bowl of wine and said, "Why do you say that my Huaxia people always like infighting?" ”
Han Xuan picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, and after eating, he said, "Yes." How many times there have been changes in the history of China, you and I both know in our hearts. You also know the ending of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the continuous conquest of the Han population has sharply reduced the Han population from tens of millions to hundreds of thousands, and later the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty led to the Hu people driving south, resulting in the situation of the Five Hu Chaohua. The Han people were almost wiped out, if it weren't for Ran Min......"
"Stop, I know you're better at history than I am. I only ask you, do you want to change history? Liu Du interrupted Han Xuan and said.
Han Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, of course I do." Every Chinese person has a Chinese dream in their hearts, hoping that China will be prosperous. It's just that history is not so easy to change! ”
Liu Du smiled: "As long as you and I join forces, why worry about not being able to unify the world?" ”
"If you want me to join forces with you, it's okay, as long as you hand over Li Dao to me and I'll deal with it!" Han Xuan knocked on the table and said.
"It seems that you still can't forget your baby kiss, how many beauties are there in the world? Men can't just eat one dish for the rest of their lives! Liu Du sighed.
Han Xuan's eyes were extremely firm: "You can't even bear to be a Li Dao, what else are you talking about!" ”
Liu Du said again: "In the world of great contention, you won't know what is most important. This Li Dao is a talent, I Lingling is not more general than you Jiangdong soldiers, Li Dao is loyal to fight for me, if I kill Li Dao, then who else is willing to vote for me? ”
"Then I don't care, if you don't agree to hand over Li Dao to me, there is nothing to talk about!" Han Xuan was firm in his position, and the two had to break up unhappily.
Liu Du was just about to walk out of the door, turned back to Han Xuan and said, "I won't kill you for the time being, but it doesn't mean that I don't have the idea of killing you." You've lived with me for so long, it's time for your family to send some money! ”
Han Xuanxin said that Nima didn't eat and drink for nothing, and he had to pay for food. It's just that now that he is exposed, and there is no chance to escape, Han Xuan has to play the piano and read the newspaper every day to entertain himself.
Han Xuan was melancholy in his heart, playing the guqin with both hands, his one-handed piano skills were taught by Cai Yong, although he was not more proficient than Cai Wenji, but he also had an accurate rhythm. At this time, the servant entered the door to inform Han Xuan that Zhuge Liang had visited.
The servant invited Zhuge Liang into the courtyard, and Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan and said with a smile: "Jiangdong children have clouds, and the song is wrong, Han Lang Gu." Chu Hou is really good Yaxing! ”
Han Xuan smiled, got up and bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "Xuanzhi's clumsy skills dare not be compared with Mr. Kong Ming, what is Mr. Kong Ming doing here?" ”
"Hearing that there is a sad and depressed tone in the sound of Chuhou Qin, it must be because he is trapped here. Now my lord wants to visit Liu Biao in Xiangyang, is Chu Hou willing to go with him? Zhuge Liang looked at Han Xuan with a smile and asked.
Han Xuan sighed: "Liu Du'an is willing to let me go?" ”
"I told my lord that Cao Cao will definitely march south after pacifying the north, and I hope that the Marquis of Chu will focus on the overall situation." Zhuge Liang said.
Han Xuan muttered, it seems that this Zhuge Liang still hopes to form an alliance with Jiangdong to resist Cao Cao and realize his strategy of dividing the world into three parts. Maybe it's because his brother Zhuge Jin is an official in Jiangdong, and he doesn't want to meet his brother Changsha.
No matter what Zhuge Liang attempts, with his help, he will have more hope when he returns to Jiangdong. Han Xuan promised to go with Liu Du to see Liu Biao, and Zhuge Liang happily left.
Han Xuan looked at this eight-foot-long man, remembered the ending of his history, stopped him and asked, "Mr. Kong Ming." Now that the Han dynasty is in decline, how difficult it is to revive the Han dynasty, even so, do you have to persevere? ”
But seeing Zhuge Liang replied with a smile: "How can everything be as expected?" Even so, as long as you do your best, you will have no regrets. ”
Han Xuan nodded, watching Zhuge Liang leave, maybe what he admired was Zhuge Liang's character and not just his resourcefulness!
Han Xuan and Liu Du went to Xiangyang together, and Cai Mao went out of the city to greet him, and looked at Han Xuan and Liu Du, the two big guys, with a very humble attitude. Subsequently, Liu Biao's two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Cong, led a group of civil and military bureaucrats to greet them.
Liu Cong stepped forward first and said, "The two of you have come from afar, and you are tired of traveling and driving, so please rest in the museum for a while." ”
"Chu Hou, please come here." Liu Cong showed Han Xuan and Liu Du the way, the etiquette was very thoughtful, Han Xuan saw that although Liu Cong was young, he looked serious, and couldn't help but take a few more looks. Looking at the eldest son Liu Qi on the side, he didn't speak in a muffled voice, no wonder Liu Biao wanted to abolish Chang Liyu.
Zhang Nan led 300 troops to protect Liu Du and Han Xuan, Zhang Nan wore armor and hung a sword, and he followed Liu Du wherever he went.
After a while, Liu Qi led Liu Bei to come, and Liu Qi stepped forward and said to Han Xuan and Liu Du: "Father has a qi attack and can't act, so I specially invite my uncle to entertain you and discuss with the two." ”
Han Xuan and Liu Du bowed to Liu Bei and exchanged politeness, and Liu Bei began to get to the point: "Cao Cao is a national thief, and he is subject to the edict of the Son of Heaven to berate Cao thief, but he can't hate it." Liu Junli and Bei are both relatives of the Han family, and the Marquis of Chu is also in Jiangdong, and the two are loyal ministers of the Han family. Today, Zi is trapped in the hands of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is attacking Jizhou today, and Xu Du will inevitably be empty. Brother Bei and Brother Jingsheng invited the two of them to come today, which is really a matter of the alliance of the Chamber of Commerce. If the two of you are willing to help each other, our allies will attack Cao Cao and rescue the Son of Heaven, it will be a blessing for the Han Dynasty! ”
